Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of Bank Millennium

On 27 March 2024, the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of Bank Millennium was held, m.in summarizing the business activity and financial results of the Bank and the Bank Millennium Group for 2023. The Chairman of the Management Board, Joao Bras Jorge, presented the results of the Bank and the Group for 2023, and the OGM approved, m.in, the annual financial statements, the ESG report and the report of the Supervisory Board for the financial year 2023, granted discharge to all members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board and decided to allocate the profit for 2023 entirely to the reserve capital.

From a business perspective, it was a difficult but good year, both in retail and corporate banking. For the full year 2023, the Group's net profit, despite the still high costs of FX mortgage loans, amounted to PLN 576 million and ROE was 9%, taking into account the average reported equity, which was a very positive achievement after a two-year period of negative results. Capital ratios have improved significantly again and it is worth noting that Bank Millennium and Bank Millennium Group currently have a significant capital surplus. In 2023, we were still open to amicable solutions to the issue of Swiss franc loans – the number of settlements concluded with borrowers so far amounted to 21.4 thousand (in 2023: 3.7 thousand), which corresponds to 35% of the number of loan agreements active at the time of full launch of the settlement process. In 2023, we achieved three important milestones: first, the number of active retail clients exceeded 3 million and the share of digitally active customers accounts for 90%; secondly, our new corporate application has maintained a high pace of development and has been expanded to include a trading platform where users can trade on the foreign exchange market on their own, as well as push notifications about transfer authorizations; Thirdly, we grew in micro-business. We have achieved all this by constantly taking care of the quality of service and positive customer experience, for which we have been awarded important awards. - said Joao Bras Jorge, Chairman of Bank Millennium.

Summing up the past year, Joao Bras Jorge added: 2023 was also a successful year in the implementation of our 2022-2024 strategy "Inspired by People". We have achieved some of our goals earlier, e.g. in 2023 we exceeded 3 million active customers, which we planned to achieve by the end of 2024; We have also fulfilled another strategic task – 90% of our clients use digital channels. We are now at the final stage of the strategy, focusing on achieving the remaining goals and at the same time starting to work with our teams on defining the strategy for 2025-2027, which will be presented in the second half of this year.
